Typewriter Series #2633 by Tyler Knott Gregson
Left foot then right then left again,
this is the way all things are measured.
These led to sorrow, to the healing that
came slowly but came all the same.
Those led further down some road on some afternoon,
to you, waiting for something you didn’t know
You waited for, those led to me.
What of life uncalculated, what of all
I never planned for? Left foot after right
And I swore I knew the way.
Right foot then left and I thought I had enough.
Listen to the sound of footstep on sidewalk,
two sets where all I knew was one.
Right foot then left then right again,
this is the way we move forward.
New steps on new legs, and somehow
Our eyes stopped looking backwards.
These led to a beginning, to the start,
To a new way of measuring things.
Those will lead us somewhere new,
It doesn’t matter where we are aiming,
Two where one was.
This is how all things will be measured.
